| 556177 | 2007-06-05 11:02:00 | Sorry to be so long coming back guys, and thanks for all the assistance. The suggestion of vector graphics conversion rang a bell, I think that is what they want. Billy 8-{) :groan: That would be correct. It also makes for a scalable file that doesn't loose any image quality regardless of the size that th image gets enlarged to. |

| 556178 | 2007-06-05 12:08:00 | I'll email the bitmap versions to Greg in the morning (if he promises not to laugh at Mrs T's taste or post links on PF1 to share the joke!!) and he can see what happens in a conversion. :lol: But yep I promise :thumbs: |

| 556179 | 2007-06-06 00:39:00 | Well I tried to do the export/convert thing without success. My Photoshop CS doesn't have an option to export to .eps. It can export (a path?) to a .ai file, but it comes out only as a 1kb sized file, which is obviously wrong. Sorry Billy T! |

| 556180 | 2007-06-06 07:57:00 | If you don't want Gimp (which can "save as", but is enormous), Billy, have a look at ImageMagick (www.cs.sunysb.edu/documentation/ImageMagick-6.2.3/www/binary-releases.html). Page down a bit to see the Windows versions. With that, you just use the command: convert foo.jpg foo.eps . | Graham L (2) | ||
| 556181 | 2007-06-06 08:04:00 | I thought that earlier but Imagemagick is most probably like Photoshop (and Gimp), raster in - raster out just in an EPS file. Adobe Illustrator was the vector centric app that might do the retracing bit. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 556182 | 2007-06-06 08:11:00 | convert converts files That's what it does . That command produces an EPS file . It's part of ImageMagick, which is a descendant of a long line of Unix image processing programmes . It's very general . It handles both raster and vector images . AN EPS file has to contain the PS vector code to be rendered by some application or it's not an EPS file . I've found these instructions to do it in the Gimp: launch Gimp open the . jpg file rightclick on the image choose the "save as" option, and select . eps format |

| 556183 | 2007-06-06 08:21:00 | I still believe the answer lye’s with either, using a vector trace application like the one highlighted by PaulD . #16 Or manually using the likes of Illustrator, Freehand etc… Either way, I reckon manual intervention is going to be needed . Rarely do the trace apps produce great finished artwork straight from the box . Although this would depend largely on the original image to start with, they can and are a good starting point . |

Greg/Billy- send it to me and I'll sort it . . . of course I only ever offer once . . . or was that twice? :stare: Billy- Greg's got my e-mail addy if you really want to keep Mrs B happy |
